Supporters of various candidates are going about from house to house telling the electors that the present alderman or the opposition candidate.as the case may be.has retired from the contest, and in many instances the electors have not taken the trouble to verify these rumors.Nuch grossly unfair tactics canno: be too strongly condemned.Ald.Stearns will most certainly run, as will also Mr.Daoust, who 1s contesting sear No.2, St.Louis Ward, at present held by Ald.Lemay, who is offering himself for reelection.Mr.Daoust has been a victim oi this mean trick, but be took out his ncmination papers yesterday afternoon, and they will be returned duly filled in this afternoon.He holds his first meeting on Saturday night in St.Joseph's Hall.Ald.Clearihue this morning returned Lis nominaticn papers.le sits for seat No.1, St.Lawrence Ward, and is at present unopposed.Mr.Doran's firet mass meeting will be held to-night al eight o'clock in the St.Henri Town Hall The meeting of Ald.Ekers to ve held to-morrow night in the St.Jean Baptiste market hall will be presided over by Mr.Martineau and ex-Ald.Dr.Germain, and the speakers will be Ald.Ekers, Mr.L.i\u2019.Marechal, K.C.,, Mr.J.Beland and Mr.Sauvel.On Friday night Ald.Ekers will carry his campaign into Nt.Henri, and will address the electors in the Town Hall.A meeting has been called for to-mor- row night in the Ste.Cunegonde City Hall, in support of the candidature of Mr.Joseph Roy.who is opposing Dr.Cypihot for election to seat No.1 in that ward.Dr.Cypihot has been invited to attend the gathering and diseuss muni cipal questions and problems with Mr.oy.Ald.Levy, who has represented seat: No.2, East ward, in the present council.: was waited upon last night by a deputation of fifty electors of the ward and | invited to consent to nomination once more.In accepting, Ald.Levy outlined his policy for the coming council's term, : which includes a reduction in the water rate, provided that a cheaper source of revenue can be found.an improved and a cheaper gas service, and a reduction | in the existing insurance rates.Ald.Levy is at present unopposed, and ind | cations point to his return by acclama- ; tion.He has been a valuable servant of the citv in the council, and his re- | turn will be in the interests of the ward ; he represents and the city in general.The election in St.Ann's ward will not be devoid of interest.Mr.O\u2019Con- nell has finally decided to stand, and will .oppose Ald.Walsh, while Mr.James.Rogers, who is over seventy years of age, | will be brought out in opposition to Ald.| Gallery.! A notice has been issued calling the | electors of the West ward to attend a meeting in the Board of Trade, at four : o'clock to-morrow afternoon, to select a! candidate in opposition to Mr.W.J.i White, K.C.It is announced that the | candidate need not reside or own land | In the ward.but must in some part of | the city of Montreal.Electors who can- | not attend are invited to send suggestions of james to the chairman.The notice calling the meeting is signed request, by $m.Seath, Wm.toon, Henry Miles, James Coristine, Arch.| McGoun, Geo.Boulter, and H.A.Hut.| chins, MR.FURLONG TOO BUSY.Mr.Furlong, butcher.has withdrawn from the candidature for seat No.2 St.Louis W ard, against Ald.Lemay, having discovered that his business will not permit of his undertaking the onerous duties of an alderman.ST.LOUIS WARD ELECTORS DR.GADROIS ISSUES FOURTH CHALLENGE TO ALD.LEMAY.To-night, at No.1711 St.Catherine street, near St.Denis street, a meeting will be held in the interest of the electors of St.Louis Ward.Ald.Lemay.representative of this ward in seat No.2, has been invited for the fourth time to be present and give an account of his work and votes as an alderman.Dr.J.P.(radbois and his supporters have some important questions to ask Aid.Lemay.bearing on his votes on gas, water, and other questions of general civic administration.If not explained by the Alderman, his conduct will be sharply criticised by his opponent and the friends of Dr.Gadbois.DRUNKARD AT TWENTY-FOUR.In the Recorder's Ccurt to-day Joseph Marsolnis, 24 years of age, and a shoemaker by trade, was sentenced to six months\u2019 fmprisonment as an babitual drunkard.[GS SECOND HAND STORE ROBBED.Last night the second-hand clothing store of Mr.R.Denenberz, 2104 Noire Dame street, was entered by burglars after the breaking of à plate glass window at the bark of the premises.Several watches, a fur cap, apd other goods, to the value of several bupdred dollars, were stolen.| place has been served Rumor of Probability That Inquiry will be Dropped HARBOR COMMISSIONERS FIND IT DIFFICULT TO GO TO HALIFAX, The majority of the Harbor Commis siopers appear to be satistied that the charges made some months ago by Mr.Charles Boon, regarding certain irregularities in the management of the timber department have been substantiated, for, at a meeting of the Trust, held yesterday afternoon, the question of hfold- ing a judical inquiry, as proposed, re- cerved little encouragement.; The reply sent to the commissioners by an official of the department, in refer ence to Mr.Boon\u2019s allegations, it is said, practically substantiates the charges, and the opinion was expressed that, as the commissioners were now cognizant of the main facts, the holding of a judicial inquiry would serve no good purpose.1 was also learned at this meeting that owing to personal business engagements several of the oommissioners would be unable to go te Halifax, as had been intended, to meet the remains of the late Hon.Mr.Prefontaine.Messrs.Robert Bickerdike, M.P., and Andrew A.Allan will, it 1s expected, constitute the deputation from the Trust, and these gentlemen will leave for Hall fax on Friday afternoon next.The matter of wharfage tariffs amo received some attention.The commissioners decided to remove a small wharf erected at Hochelaga by Messrs.Peter Lyall & Sons, for their use.\u2014 mmm mm ABOUT INDIAN MISSIONS.The Rev.E.C.Woodley, of Calzutta, India, will deliver an address on missionary work in the East, to the Young Men's Association of Chalmers Church to-mor- row evening at eight o'clock.The meeting, which is an open cne, will be hrld in the church parlors.As Mr.Woodley is returning to India shortly this may be the last chance that the public will have of hearing him.\u2014- DEATH OF MR.MAURICE DRUM- MOND.Sir George Drummond and family will have the sympathy of a very wide circle of friends in the Lereavement which befell them yesterday by the death of Mr.Maurice Drummond, son of Sir George, which took place yesterday at Colorado Springs., Mr.Drummond was technical manager oi the Canada Sugar Refining Company.This position he filed with succese, and he became a general favorite with all grades of employees.In April of fast year he had an attack of paralysie.and he had been ill ever since.Last November he went to Colorado Springs in the hope that his health might be benefited, but he gradually got worse, and yesterday he passed away.He was in his forty-sixth year, FOOD INSPECTION.Following is the record of food condemned and confiscated by the civic food inspection department during the past week: \u2014At the abattoirs:\u2014Six cattle, 1 calf, 2 sheep, 8 livers, and 200 pounds of bruised meat.At the markets and shops: \u2014Seven hundred and forty-eight pounds of beef, 991 pounds of veal, 326 pounds of mutton, 138 pounds of pork, 217 pounds of poultry, 178 pounds of sausages, 52 pounds of venison, 59 pounds of kid, and 85 pounds of livers.At the stores:\u2014One thousand and thirty-seven pounds of fruit, 634 pounds of vegetables, .86 pounds of fish, and 275 pounds of sundries.STE.CUNEGONDE INCINERATION.The city incineration department has completed arrangements for dealing with Ste.Cunegonde refuse.Hitherto that thrice weekly, but now it will have a bi-weekly ser- | vice, the incineration department serving all that portion of the ward on the south side of the Grand \u2018lTunk Railway track every Monday and [hursday, and the portion of the ward south ot the tracks every Wednesday and Sat- vrday.DAMAGE ACTION DISMISSED.Mr.Justice Loranger yesterday dismissed the action in a case of Bourgeois vs.Mathews.The plaintiff claimed $1.- 900 damages for having broken his leg while working for defendant, carting sand from a sand pit in St.Henri.Defendant pleaded that the pit was not under his control, and he had warned the plaintiff about taking sand from it.The Court found that defendant had proved his contention.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014- PROTHONOTARY REORGANIZING.The new prothonotary, Mr.Monet.is reorganizing the different departments of his office.The continuous increase in business having caused the registration of a large number of judgments to be dpelaved, Mr.Monet has arranged a special department for that purpose.A system has also been inaugurated by which the different deputy prothonota- ries wil lhelp in the mime work when not engaged in any court room.CHARGED WITH BURGLARY THREE YOUNG MEN ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH THE FLEURY CASE.The detectivee, who have been inquiring irto the circumstamceg of the burglary reported in the \u2018Witness\u2019 some days ago at Mr.Fleury's dry goods store on Notre Dame street, near the City Hall, have arrested Adelard Trepanier, 18 years of age, of 2% Champlain street;

excitement among the undergraduates in the Faculty of Medicine at McGill this morning when it became known that one of the fourth year students had been married.It seems that during his residence iu Montreal, this young man, who hails from the \u2018Blue-nose\u2019 Country, had fallen in love with the charming young daughter of a well-known resident of Mountain street.Last week the two were quietly married, und the news only leaked out at the Medical Faculty this morning.Of course the young man had to stand a good deal of chaff from his fellow students, but he took it good- humoredly enough.\u2018The undergraduates are very regretful at not having known that such an event was taking place.They declare that if they had known it they would lave given the young couple a demonsirusicn worthy of the occasion.And perhaps they might have supplemented il with a handsome present.o knows?This makes the fourth married man among the medical students at MeGiil.AN these marriages have been contracted within the space of a year, and son» of the more pessimistic are beginning to express fears that the \u2018outbreak \u2018may assume an epidemic form.If it should do go the authorities of the University will be face to face with a serious prob- Jem.But whatever may be the academic view of the question, these marruges are certainly an adyegtisement for the beauteous fair of Moggreal

following | | y.The Rev.Mr.Welsh is a Scotsman, \u2018 with Covenanter blood in his eins.Ie comes of a missionary family, and was: born at New Cumnock, Ayrshire.He received his early education at Ayr Academy, afterwards studying and gradu- THE REV.R.E.WELSH, M.A, ating in Arts at Glasgow University, and later taking his theological course at Edinburgh.He was ordained to the ministry of the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland in 1880, and went, 48 one of 1ts missionaries, to Japan.Serious illness in his family compelled him to return from this field.He then took up pastoral work in England.During his twenty-three years\u2019 service in the ministry he has taken an important share in the business of the l\u2019resbyc:ruan body.Mr.Welsh has gained for himself a notable reputation as a journalist and author.He is a well-known contributor edited a series of \u2018Christian Study Manuals.\u201d In 1897 he edited, for some months, the magazines of the Bible Society.One of his earliest books, \u2018In Relief of Doubt,\u201d issued in 1895, was reprinted two years later.Over (fifty thousand copies of the book have been gold during the past twelve months.All his writings have met with a very popular reception.His latest work is entitled \u2018Man to Man,\u201d and is addressed to; young men.He has travelled extensively, having paid a long visit to South Africa, traversed Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and lived in Japan for a time, as a missionary.His gilts as a lecturer, preacher and platform speaker are becoming widely recognized in Canada since his arrival here, as they have been elsewhere.CORN EXCHANGE ELECTIONS It was stated on \u2018Change this morning that the present executive and council] of the Corn Exchange would be, probably, re-elected by acclamation.This is said to be the outcome of a satisfactory season with the grain men and the work of the council having been in keeping with the general progress in the grain trade.Mr.Norman Wight, of the firm of Messrs.Wight & Ysdaile, grain brokers, will again be asked to accept the prest- dency, as his services in the chair have been devoted at all times to the interests of the trade, and the members are desirous that he should remain in office for another year at least.This, it is said, he will consent to do.The annual report, shortly to be presented by Mr.Alex.McFee, representative of the Corn Exchange on the Harbor Board, bas been completed, and it 13 said that it will deal extensively with general questions and specially with the grain trade.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 MARTEAU'S PERSONALITY.No event in recent French musical history\u2019 has attracted such world-wide attention as the centenary celebration of the birth of Hector Berlioz, which took place a little over two yeurs ago.That celebration was conceived, organized and carried out by the genius and powerful personality of Ten: Marteau.This cvenl showed not only the reverence of the French people for Berlioz, but also the unbounded popularity of Martean himself.1: js largely owing to him that at the time of his present (our, which hrings him to Montreal on Feb.6.such misstonary work is not any longer neces- sery.ee FIRE AT HEMMINGFORD.On Saturday afternoou.the Presbr- terian Chureh at Hemnunglord Look fire, from an overheated furnace.The caretaker had been in the basement a short time before the fire was discovered :nd found nothing out of the usual order.When the alarm was ziven willing hands were soon present to save the church.The fire engine of the village was soon at work, and in a short time the fire was under control.The -hurch i= badly discolored from the smoke, and a large hole was bumed over the furnace, which is also badly injured.Several of the windows had to be broken to get the water on the tire.The [Presbyterians have the sympathy of the entire community in this misforiune to their chureh.The Methodist and Anglican churches have both hindly offered the Presbyterians the use of their churches until tee Presbyterian Church ja repaire 17 IS PROBABLE THAT THE NUM: BER OF FIRST YEAR SUBJECTS WILL BE DIMINISHED.It is very probable that, in the near future, the number of subjects in the first year of the undergraduate course oi the Faculty of Arts at McGill will be diminished, as it is the opinion of the faculty that the subjects should be the fewest possible compatible with the requirements of a liberal education.The policy is to contine the student to u cer: tain number of subjects and expect each of these to be thoroughly covered rather than to give a wide course of a superticial character, as it is considered that by this means the students are better trained for specialization.A steady advance is also being made in the tutorial «ystem\u2014a great feature of Oxford life, which has so favorably impressed many of the Americans who have gone over to that university.The particular advantage of the tutorial system is that it makes for thoroughness.When students are instructed in large classes the results depend almost entirely on the individuals.Many of them may be idling away their time unknown to their instructors.Under the tutorial system the men are divided into groups of eight or ten, or an even smaller number, each group sitting round a table under a tutor, who thus knows exactly who is lazy and who is working.The faculty is at present aiming to he as tutorial as possible consistent with the delivery of lectures, which is the basis of the system.HEBREW YOUNG PEOPLE ENJOYABLE SOCIAL TOOK PLACE LAST EVENING.The social and entertainment given last evening in the meeting ball of the Chev- ra Kadisha Synagogue by the Young People's Society was very successful.Dr.Norman Viner presided.and explained the objects of the society.In this society the young men would be kept away from temptation.and the purity of the Jewish religious ideals would be maintained.The secretary,

duet.Miss Jennv Greenspon, elocutionist.recited \u2018Asleep at the switch.\u201d A violin solo was rendered by Mr.H.Wilansky.Signor Jean Lombardi proved to be an expert mandolin plaver.The entertainment concluded with a few encouraging remarks by the Rev.Dr.M.Halperin.The officers of the society ave the following: Honorary president, the Rev.Dr.M.Halperin; president, Mr.J.A.Dolrophy; vice-president, Mr.A.Glickman; secretary.Mr.J.A.Livinson; treasurer, Mr.A.Sloves; ser- geant-at-arms, Mr.H.Sourkes.ONE MORE VICTIM HOW THE SHANTYMAN LOST HIS MONEY.Joseph Gregoire, a porter.45 years of age, was abarged before Mr.Lafontaine to-day with having robbed John Lemay, a shantyman, of fifty dollars.He was remanded until to-morrow.The accused was arrested by Detectives Samson and

softly rolling ridges dotted {with clumps of dried sagebrush and | spotted here und there \u2018vith heaps of i black volcanic rocks.Far to the northward, a thin !ine of poplars and willows marked the bed of a river.Be- {yond that, again, \u2018he air was thick with lamoke from acres of burning veldt.i The days were full of dust, and the nights were full of frost; it was the month of June, and winter was upon the land.The camp was taking a well-earned rest.For days, \u2018he men bad swept over the veldt, following hard om the trail of a Boer general who only made himself visible now and then by a spatter of bullets, when his coyvoy tram was delayed at & difficult ford.lt had been a week of playing puss-in-the-cor- ner over a charred and dusty lend, where the only roads were trails trodden out to powder by the hoofs of those that had gone before.Both men and mounts were well-nigh exhausted, and the officers had decreed a halt.The strain had been intense.Now, with the relaxing of it, its mem- had vanisned, and the halt swiftly took upon itself the appearance Qof à school holiday.Laughing and chaffing each other, groups of men loitered here and lounged there, smoking.writing letters, and taking stout, unlovely stitches in their time-worn khaki clothing.At one side of the camp was the tent of the mess sergeant, equipped like a portable species of corner grocery.Near by, Paddy apparently was in his element, presiding over his camp-kitchen, a vast bonfire encircled with a dozen iron pots.At the farther edge ol the camp Weldon was umpiring a game of football be tween his own squadron and a company of the Derbys.Owing to the athletic zeal of the hour, it was big-side, and Weldon was too husy in keeping his eve upon so many players to pay much attention to his own loneliness.In all truth, however, he was lonely.The week since he had rejoined his squadron his squadron had dragged perceptibly.Captain Frazer was in Capetown; Carew was still in hospital at Johannesburg, where, under the eyes of Alice Mellen and her cousin.he was fast resuming his old finica)l habits.Dingy and veldt-stained though he might be, Carew at heart would always remain the exquisite.However, exquisite that he was bound to be, he was even more the soldier, and his gay eyes bad clouded, as he had wrung Weldon's hand in part- ng.Lucky dog!\u2019 he said enviously.\u2018T am off duty for two weeks more, and you are going back to the thick of things.One must take it as it comes; but I say, old man, don\u2019t forget me when the bullets begin tn pelt at you again.\u2019 | And Weldon had been better than his promise.He had thought of Carew.day and night, for the entire week, thought of him and missed him acutely.Carew was an ideal comrade in that he never, under any circumstances, took himself in earnest.A leg which will carry a man on horseback is by no means fit for football.Weldon, finished player that he was, found iL tame work to umpire a team whose sole idea of tactics wae to get there in any way that offered itself.Half an hour sufficed: then, appointing an nn- derstudy, he walked away in search of Paddy.From the midst of a torrent of instructions to his quartette of black subordinates, Paddy's voice sang out a cheery greeting.Come along, little feller! Come ard get something to eat.It\u2019s hungry vou after the way ought to be the day.vou\u2019ve been walking all over the country on horseback and an empty stomach.Try this, as a sample of your dinñer, and sit down by the edge of the fire, \u2018whilst, and tell me how it tastes.\u2019 The iron spoon scraped lustily over the iron dixey.Then Weldon returned them both with a low bow.\u2018Like yourself, Paddy, short and sweet.\u2019 Paddy brandished the spoon, weapon- wise.\u2018Short is it.you little Canuck!

He was made sin for us, that we who believe on Him might become a righteousness of God.(II.Cor.v., 21; I.Pet.iii, 18.) The death of Jesus was a necessity to pave the sinner from death, for gubse- quent obedience to law could never save the sinner from its penalty.By Adam\u2019s sin the many were made sinners, so by Christ's one act of obedience the many may be made righteous.(Rom.v., 19.) See also Phil.ii., 8; John x., 15.The awful consequences of sin are revealed at the cress.Not ths bodily sufferings.It was the conflict with the power of darkness, the hiding of the Father's face, and the contact with sin, which constituted the agony of the cross.No sinner can ever know the depth of sorrow of the Son of God as the bearer of sins.Reader.trust in His death and all your sins are gone.errr DAILY TEXT.January 17.Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom.~Prov.iv.7.per \u2018To get a full purse and a bad conscience is a Boor exchange.\u2014Geikie.\u2018Every family ought to be a sort of chandelier, to shed light and good cheer upon those who come into the circle of its influence; and this could be brought nbout if each member would realize that he is one of the lamps, and that he must add his share of the light and hright- ness.\u2019\u2014Ruth Graham.11 situations Vacant.I nT \u2014p\u2014 WANTED, CANDY MAKER FOR HIGH- class Chocolate and Cream work, THE MONTREAL BI3CUIT COMPANY.WANTED, A GOOD PLAIN COOK; Wash- © mg sent out.Apply to 393 Kensingtou \u2018ave.| WANTED, HOUSEMAID.APPLY AT 3il Stan ley street.WANTED, SALESLADY FOR UPTOWN confectiorey store; experience prefor- .red.Apply McKEOV'N'S, 370 St, An- loine estreet.WANTED,GENERAL SERVANT for Light heveework; three in family.Apply, evenings, at $533 Wellington street.References required.tarn Uver $10 a Day.Agents wanted alt over the world.Mx- perience nat necwwsary.Ten dollars sa day easily earned taking subscriptions ler \u2018World Wide.\u2019 Write for full particulars and our ists for easy capvassing.Ad- êresss.tbe publishers of \u2018World Wide,\u2019 Montreal, Canads.mr ; Bargains, \u2014 .= \u2014 CLARK'S JANUARY DISCOUNT SALE.\u2014 10 to 20 percent off prices.Ladies\u2019 Come bluatiuns, Vesta, Drawers, Cashmore Hose, Wool Gioves, Handkerchiefs, cto.Room Oue, 210 St.James etreet.CLARK'S JANUARY DISCOUNT SALE.\u2014 20 to 60 percent off prices.Fapey Knit Shawls, Ladies\u2019 and Children\u2019s Hoods, Mufte and Rufts, Clouds, Fascinators,ets, Room Ope, 210 St, James street.CLARK'S JANUARY DISCOUNT SALE.\u2014 10 to 20 percent off prices.Gentlemen's Shirws, Drawers, Swealers, Jerseys,Cashmere and Fingering Socks, Toboggan , Hose, Wool Gloves and Knit Waistcoaus Room Our, 210 St.James street.FOR SALE, REMNANTS, BUTCHER ROLler Table Linene, Remnauts Beaver Reversible Cretonnc; 10c Circular Pillow Cotton, 40, ¢2, 52 tnches; Black Farmers\u2019 Satin, Double, 80c; Navy Serge, 68 inch, $1.00, worth 3$£.50.ROWELL'S GENERAL BAZAAR, 3 Cypress stresel, opposite Windsor Hall.FOR SALE, KINDLING WOOD \u2014 GOOD dry box cuttings make the cheaçest kindling wood; delivered within cfty Nain S647.street.G.& J.ESPLIN, 138 Duke KINDLING FIR THE MILLION.Kindling, 33.00; Cut Maple, $3.00; Mill Blocks.$1.75; cut any lngth, also, Anthracite Cosl: delivered anywhere in the city.J.O.MAODIARMID, No.2 Cana!

London, Jan.16.\u2014An unbroken series of twenty-two gains, including the triumph of Mr.John Burns, and the defeat of Mr.Alfred Lyttelton, former Secretary for the Colonies, 1s the contribution of the polls to-day to the great Liberal and Labor landslide.Fifty-six seats were decided.At the star: forty-three were held by Conservatives and at the finish only twenty-one remained in the fold.Of the residue, fourteen were captured by Liberals and eight by the Labor- Liberals.Seats held for twenty years by Conservatives by large majorities changed their allegiance.Democratic labor men displace titled aristocrats.Thus the varying sentiments merged into a gain to date of sixty-three to the Liberals and twenty-three Labor, as agamst a less ot only one.Less than half the seats have been decided yet.It seems not improbable that the TLiberals will have a majority even over the Labor as well as the Irish party.Wednesday wail decide the personal fate of Mr.Chamberlain, but even the most sanguine Liberal will be surprised at his defeat.To-day's fight was participated in by two candidates, one being elected und one rejected.Mr.Baker holds Finsbury, a seat gained for the Liberals.In the by-elections the majority was decreased from 768 to 687.DR.DAWSON DEFEATED.In East Edinburgh Dr.Rankine Dawson carried the Unionist forlorn hope against a Liberal majority of 1,201.He advocated tariff reform and pointed to Canada as an example of the success of protection.He ws defeated by 4,174.lu striking contrast to the fate of the ministers and ex-ministers, Mr.John Burns, after a hard fight, increased the Batter- sea majority of 254 to 1,600.Mr.Berh, his opponent, was formerly in the lumper business in Canada.The Socialists also worked actively against Mr.Burns, al-| leging he has been faithless to their cause by accepting office.Then Mr.Cherry, attorney for Ireland, like his two ool- leagues, invaded a Tory constituency, and turned a Conservative majority of 1,207 in Liverpool to a Liberal majority of 221.On the other hand, Mr.Lytteiton was the fourth ex-minister to be defeated.A ray of comfort to tariff reform comes from Durham, where a Conservative free- trader faced a Conservataive tariff reformer.he tariff reform candidate received 1,313, the free trade one, 380.LIBERAL GAINS.Labor is in a notable feature.Of fourteen candidales in thirteen constituencies nine were elected.Of nine elected eight were not opposd by Liberals.In Dundee, held by two Liverals,the Labor candidate displaced the Liberal.In Middlesbrough an Independent Labor candidate opposed a Labor-Liberal.The latter won.In Stockport, electing two members, Labor headed the poll, with a Liberal second.Labor candidates, thou Liberal second.Labor candidates, though unopposed by Liberals, were defeated in two divisions of Live |.In Drewsbury, Labor opposed the old party candidates, and finished last.In Stock-! ton, Labor was also last, but is blamed | for defeating the Liberal.The standing of the parties.Liberals.131 Conservatives.49 Labor.cv o.oo.28 Conservative Free Trade.3 Nationalists.37 THE RESULTS.The following Liberals have been elected in London: DBatteivea, John Burns, 1,600; Bethnal Green, W.E., Cornwall, 1,997 (gam): Bethnai Green, B.W., Pickersgill, 1,551 (gain); Chelsea, Norniham, 629 (gain); Finsbury Fast, Baker, 687; Fulham, Davies, 680 (gain); Labor \u2014 Finsbury Central.Steedman (gain).Conservatives \u2014 City of London, Gibbs and Clarke; Finsbury, Holborn, Remnant, 1,085; Hammersmith, Bull, 548; Lawicham, (Coates, 1.088; Westminster, | Coutts, 118; Clapham, Thornton, 9%.Liberals elected in the boroughs of | England :\u2014Brigbton, Villers and Rids-\u2019 dale, 874 (one gain); Cheltenham, Seers, 401 (gain); Coventry, Mason, 1,002 (gain); Grauthain, Priestley, 100; Liverpool, ; Abercromby, Seely (gain), Liverpool | Exchange, Cherry.221 (gain); Newcastle, !

London, Jan.15.\u2014Lhere was a great scene at Batlersea to-night after the poll showing John Burns to be elected was announced.Mr.Burns stood on the balcony of the Town Hall, on Lavender Hill, where he resides, wildly waving his hat, while fully twenty thousand of his supporters were along the hill as wildly cheering.It was a long time before Mr.Burns could get a hearing to announce the figures.Then he exclaimed: \u2018Now, go and tell my wife\u2019 A few minutes afterwards Mr.Burna was escorted shoulder high through the Battersea streets by thousands of workmen.; Walter Hême Long, former chief secretary for Ireland, who lost nis seat for South Bristol, on Monday, was to-day elected to the Unionist seat for South Dublin, where the Unionist candidate had withdrawn in his favor.; The polling to-day will be the heaviest oif the elections and will involve the fate of 92 seats, of which 23 belong to London.Of these 23 all but five were held by Unionists in the last parliament.Among the successful candidates yesterday was À.E.W.Mason, the novelist, who was elected in the Liberal interest for Coventry.Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle is also contesting a seat.The new House of Commons will number among its members many authors and journalists.THE HEART OF THE KINGDOM.London, Jan.16.\u2014The commercial heart of the Kingdom remained faithful to the Unionist cause, the city of London Te- turning A.G.H.Gibbs and Sir Edward Clarke, with engrmous majorities, approximately ten thousand over their Liberal opponents.Some of the other Conservative London districts lkke \\Vestmins- ter and provincial seats like Oxford, where the working class population is small, managed to retain Unionist representatives.Otherwise, to-day\u2019s story of the struggle is a repetition of yesterday's heavily increased polling of enormous Ja- bor votes and discomfiture of the Union ists, who did not gain a single seat in today's balloting, but lost 22 to the Liberals and Laborites.MR.CHAMBERLAIN SPEAKS \u2018IN OR OUT OF PARLIAMENT, HE SAYS, \u2018MR.BALFOUR IS UUR LEADER\u2019 (Canadian Associated Press.) London, Jan.16.\u2014Mr.Chamberlain, in bis campaign address, expressed great regret at the defeat of Mr.Balfour.la or out of parliament,\u2019 he exclaimed, \u2018Balfour is our leader.Now that he is out of parliament he is more our leader than ever.There is no man to whom we look with so much contidence to restore us to our old position when the delusions of the people have disappeared.We, Wis friends and followers, who have shown OF INTEREST TO WOMEN A SMART GOWN POR STREET WEAR So many of the smartest frocks, both for street and indoor wear, show a touch of the Directoire period, that it is al most to be wondered at that the very mannerisms and coiffure of that time |: are not also adopted.It is to be Loped that the beautiful buttons and buckles worn in those days will be reproduced, 80 that the jackets may be correctly ad- ormed.The illustration given to-day shows a modified edition of the style referred to, the coat reaching almost to the hem of the gown, with a weH-fitted back, full length, of course, and short i 1 \u2018Eton fronts that fall loosely \u2018ower \u2018the \u2018 waistcoat girdle, which starts at underarm seam.Below waist line at badk, each seam shows an inverted box-plait effect, Ito give the desired fullness, and the coat xkirts continue at front, opening at centre.and attached beneath girdle.The color of the gown is a rich shade him our loyalty in times of prosperity of olive green, which harmonizes admir- will show greater loyalty now that he is for a period to go through adversity.He described Manchester as fickle and ungrateful.He then moralized on the Liberal victories, disavowing any desire to minimize their importance.\u2018We have as a party been badly defeated,\u201d he said, \u2018but, after all, when the election is over, you wil find that al though in a minority at the polls, we bave carried with us pearly half of the electorate.The fact that things have gone against us should nerve you to further exertion.You must fight to the end.We are only half through the election.We cannot alter the tendency which has exhibited itself, but we can send back to parliament a stalwart band.There is no tide that flows so high that is not followed by an ebb.In my opinion in this case, reaction will come sooner than at previous times.From the first I openly said I did not think this new policy would be carried in one election.We are prepared, we who believe in this policy, to go on to two elections, and if that is not enough we will go on to three, four or five.If Sir { Henry Campbell-Bannerman thinks {hat by a scratch, a very large, but still «a scratch, majority, upon Chinese labor, education, home rule, and every other conceivable item in the Newcastle pro gramme, he has crushed legislation, far play, foreign trade, preferential trade with the colonies, tell him he is very much mistaken.As long as I live I will carry it on.(Cheers).After I am gone I think there will be plenty to follow in my steps.There is only one th.ng that disturbs us a little in the decision and that is the response made to the offer of the colonies.Jt did not matter very seriously whether it was curried to-day or.five years bence, but I am not sure we should always have the opportunity in regard to the colonies) THE ISSUE AT BIRMINGHAM._ {Associated Press Despatch.) Birmingham, Eng., Jan.16.\u2014Lhis city is resting to-night preparatory to tomorrow's battle at the polls, which promises to be the most sensational in vears.Few persons venture to forecast the verdict, but it is evident that Union- insta are frightened by the results of the last three days, particularly that at Dudley.the nearest constituency thus far polled, where the Liberals gained a seat.The Unionists are exerting every effort.Mr.Joseph Chamberlain, contrary to his usual custom of non-participation in the canvass on an election day.at the urgent request of his supporters, hus agreed to visit the polls in his district to-morrow, and, accompanied by Mrs.Chamberlain, will tour the district.It is generally believed that two of the Birmingham districts are in danger of capture by the Liberals, but, accord: | ably with the Russian sable on revers and collar; dull gold buttons trim .oat fronts and cuffs, and ornament shoulders across the top of the box plaited sleeves: The French seamed back shows one at either side, on waist line, in a much larger size.The girdle is a stil] deeper shade of green.in uncut velvet, land vestees of pale blue cloth are em- |broidered in olive, gold and burnt orange shades.The jabot and sleeve ruffles ar: \u2018of point Venicé lace, so deep a shade lof green that it is almost a tan.i The skirt of gown, of netessity is cir- \u2018cular, so that any extra fulness at nips \u2018is avoided.The weight also has to be considered, because the length of coat alone gives that of the ordinary frock.ln all the winter gowns the silk petticoat, or drop skirt matches the cloth as nearly as possible, and it is considered lthe best form to have any other silk |petticoat worn with it either of the isame silk or else in a two-toned effect \u2018with the shade of gown predominating.These may be as elaberately made as the feminine heart shall desire, but for service, those with the little corded, bias ruffles will be found the best.The two toned silks wear longer usually than \u2018he phin taffeta, and have a softer finigh.ing to a statement issued by the Unionist committee to-night, the other five districts are safe.The issue in Birmingham is that of straight fiscal reform, but it is affected by side issues on which the workingmen are split.DR.GOLDWIN- SMITH'S LETTER.(Canadian Associatad Press.) London, Jan.16.\u2014 Prof.Goldwin Smith, writing to the Hon.Mr.Reid, leader of the Free Trade party in the Australian Commonwealth Parhiment, said :\u2014 All my political friends in England tell me that Mr.Chamberlain's policy is dead.In Canada it has never been alive.\u2019 The \u2018 Westminster Gazette\u2019 says the letter has arrived at a moat opportune moment.tll PRESIDENCY OF FRANCE FRIENDS OF M.FALLIERES BELIEVE HIS ELECTION IS ASSURED.Paris, Jan.16.\u2014The friends \u2018of M.Clement Amarmand Fallieres, president of the Senate, believe that his election to the presidency of the republic in succession to M.Loubet is completely assured.They declare, in- aeed.that all is over but the shouting.The basis of their confidence is that he received 416 votes at to-day\u2019s caucus of uli the Republican senators and deputies, this being only 12 short of an absolute majority of both houses.The number invited to the caucus was 712, which in- ciuded all the senators and deputies except the Royalists.Of these 649 votes, M.Doumer, president of the Chamber of Deputies, received 191.There were 42 scattering votes.The opponents of M.Fallieres assert that his support included every possible vote that he can receive at the election, which will be held to-morrow, and that his apparent strength 1s deceptive.Most ow the French politicians expect, however, that M.Fallieres will be elected on the first Lailot.Should this expectation fail, then his chances of ultimate election will become remote, and an unexpected candidate, as several times in the past, ma reach the Pulace of the Elysée.Fallieres\u2019s election would mean the con- tinuation of the régime inaugurated by l\u2019resident Luubet.with M.Clemenceau as the power behind the throne.General public interest in the election is small, but there is enormous betting a* the Bourse.with M.Fallieres, of course, as the prime favorite.It would be a mistake, however, to consider that to- Morrow's result is a foregone conclusion, for there is nothing more uncertain than French polities, unless it is English politics at the present moment.\u2014 nae RUSSIAN SITUATION.POLICE DISCOVER HEADQUARTERS OF PROPAGANDA IN ARMY AND NAVY, Bt.Petersburg, Jan.17.\u2014While the police were making arrests of members of the Workmen's Council yesterday they also discovered the headquarters from which the propaganda in the army and navy has been conducted and seized im- ortant documents, including a cipher 1st, through which it is expected the ramifications of a wide organization will be revealed.Two girl students, who were in charge of the headquarters, and a score of soldiers and sailors, have been arrested.Realizing that reforms in the army and navy must come from above, the Council of National Defence has determined upon a thorough house-cleaning, cashiering and relieving by wholesale, officers who showed incotupetency or culpability in the recent troubles.Seven officers of the mutinous Rostoff Grenadiers, of Moscow, were dropped recently, and it is expected that seventy officers of the Black Sea fleet will be tried by court- martial.The agrarian disorders which have broken out in the outskirts of St.Peters burg have assumed an ugly mood.The peasants have sacked the estates of the Duke of Mecklenburg-Stretez and Prince Korsikoff, and have burned the buildings on an estate in the district of Tsarko- Selo, almost in sight of the Emperor's palace.R The terrorist organization is including in its death roll not only officials, but also the leaders of the Conservative organizations.A despatch from Smolensk, Middle Russia, says that President Koutof.of the League of Banner Bearers, formed to defend the autocracv has been murdered at his residence.The terrorists zlso operated with the ultmost boldnese.and left a notice to the effect that a simi- lav fate will befall all the members of the League of Banner Bearers, MOROCCAN CONFERENCE, Opening Notable for the Spirit of Conciliation Manifested SPEECH OF THE DUKE OF ALMOU-: DOVAR BREATHED CONCORD AND PEACE.Algeciras, Jan.17.\u2014The opening of the Moroccan Conference yesterday was chiefly notable for the spirit of concill- : ation manifested throughout the formal inauguré] session.The events cf the day were the gathering of the ambassadors, with their extensive staffs, and the one hour's session in which the Duke of Al: modovar, the Spanish Minister of For-! eign Affairs, was unanimously elucted president of the Conference.Tne Duke's speech of acceptance breathed con ord and peace.He counselled the nations to adjust their differences and emphus- ized the essential principles of the sovereignty of the Sultan, the territorial integrity of Morocco, and the open door.It was signiticant that both the French and German delegates heartily seconded the remarks of the Duke, thus foreshadowing the amelioration of FKranco- German relations.The envoys were driven to the Conference in court equipages sent from Madrid by King Alfonso.The mule trains in the narrow streets had to make way for these equipages, but otherwise the presence of these suggestions of more rilliant worlds than that of this little Spanish seaport in no way affected the calm-eyed townspeople.The delegates on the way to the city hall were taken past the imposing walled bull ring, with its massively built grandstand, which is capable of seating half the population, by the barracks, outside which the soldiers of the garrison were lounging, and near the pleasant villa occupied by the Moorish representatives and their numerous entourage of servants and guards.The delegates had agreed to make themselves comfortable and not to trouble about uniforms, so most of them were in African dress.The Moors were the last to arrive, and their white draperies, turbans and yellow shoes added an odd touch to a gathering that otherwise looked like that at an afternoon tea.There were seven of the Arabs, dignified men, with watchful eyes, and all with athletic frames except Mohammed El Torres, whose figure is bent under the weight of his 83 years, and who walks with a long staff, which he handles more as a lance than as a cane.The Duke of Almodovar met Mohammed El Torres at the head of the stairs, a distinction which was not shown to the other delegates.The response of the Moors was shaken for a second by the rattle of camera shutters in the hands of some thirty foreign photographers, which sounded as though a file of soldiers were cocking its rifles.Quite a; hundred newspaper men and artists, re- | presenting illustrated periodicals, lined | the approaches.° | The Duke of Almodovar, in welcoming the Conference in the name of King Alfonso, said it was the second time that Morocco and the great powers had : met in Spain to deliberate on questions | of the highest importance, and Be hoped | that the common efforts of the envoys | would result in the satisfactory fulfilment | of the heavy task imposed upon them.Herr von Radowitz, the German ambassador to Spain, and head of the German delegation, then rose aud pointed out that the position alphabetically of Allemagne (Germany) gave her the right to propose the Duke of Almodovar for | president of the coniereace.The election of the Duke was tnannnous.The Duke thunked Horr von Radowitz and the other members of the conference, saying: \u201cThe powers have clearly shown their desire that order, peace and prosperity shall reign throughout Morocco.\u201d \u2018The! Sultan, as well as the foreign govern- | ments, desires this end, which is obtain- | able by introducing reforms upon the | triple principle of the soveregniy of | the Sultan, the integrity of his territory .and equal commercial Lrealiment, numely the \u201copen door.\u201d Mutual respect for our reciprocal interests and a sincere desire to concillate them must be, accordinz to my view, our rule cf conduct at \u201chis conference.Our own sentiment, as well as the expectant attitude of the entire world, dictates such a concilintory solution.\u2019 Secretaries were then chosen.M.Reveil, former Governor of Algiers, who heads the French delegation, warmly seconded the Duke oï Almoslovar's state- THE EFFECT ON ALSACE-LORRAINE, Berlin, Jan.15.\u2014~Reports received her from Alsace-Lorrame wiv that the nha, tants fear that war well follow the 7 geciras conference, and that this eat having its intlunce on the bank and o° er Institutions.GREAT BRITAEN AND RUSSIA.London, Jan.17.\u2014The Standard\u2019 this morning gives prominence to a statement that reat Britain and Buss have x rived at a satisfactory understanding tor a common course of ation in the Mou eccun conference at Algeeivas GRAND TRUNK PACIFIC ERTTISH COLUMBIA OPPOSITION OBJECTS TO LAND GIANT AT KATEN ISLAND.Victoria, B.C., Jan.16 \u2014 I'he Grand Trunk Pacihe may not be alloned to en ter into peaceable possession of the land which they have arranged tor at Kaen Island, through Mr.E.V Bodwell.In a speech in the legislature, Mr.A, J.Mau donald, of the Opposition, made a sweep ing attack on the whole scheme and de fied the Attorney-General to take the matter to the cours for a test.The Government made the gant uhder section 39 of the Land Act, which states that the government cau wake such grant: from reserves for the purposes of publi advantage, but which expressly prohibits their alienation for railway bouuses, Mr Macdonald says the government's ac was in the very teeth of tha provisions cf the Land Act: and that if it is al lowable under this act ther: is no reason why the Government cannot grant every town site along the whole line of the Grand Trunk Pacific \u2018n British Columbia for a distance of eight hundred mules to the same corporation.The grant at Kaien Island covers fifteen square miles, twice the area of Victoria, B.C.The Opposition 1s calling for all the papers in the matter.A NARKOW ESCAPE DURING GALE MASSIVE CHIMNEY FELL ACROSS BED OF SLEEPING MAIDS.\u2014 Toronto, Jan.16.\u2014During the heavy gale early this morning, one of the nas sive chimneys of Wycliffe College tell crashing through the roof and making « hole twenty feet long by ten feet wide The chimney rose directly above the wali on the south side of Principal Sheraton s residence and was blown directly acrcss the roof.Two maids were sleeping 11 the room directly below, one of them narrowly escaping with her life.Some of the beams of the roof and a mass of broken slates fell directly across the bed.from which she had not time to escape when the first crash came.The debns of the roof, however, supported the mass of bricks long enough for the girl to ex tricate herself from beneath the beams and rubbish that pinned her down.A» | it was her face and head were severely cut.Fortunately Principal Sheraton, who is in a very nervous condition, was sleeping in a distant part of the houses and was not seriously startled by the acet- dent.The Rev.Mr.O'Meara said no approximate estimate could vet De given as to the amount of damages done.TARIFF COMMISSION \u2014 INTERESTS IN THE ANNAPOLIS VALLEY MAKE SUGGLES- TIONS.Halifax, N.8., Jan.16.\u2014The Honorable Messrs.l'ielding, Paterson and Brodeur.of the Tariff Commission, with Mr.E.J Bengough, acting secretary, were in Mid dleton to-day bearing representations from the Annapolis Valley district.LC.Jamieson, speakiug for fishing interests.made a strong argument for free gasoline, increased duty on finnau haddies and fresh fish, and an cxport duty on ;oung herring, intended for the Maine sardine factories.Mr.John Ervin asked that not onh should the duty on red granite be in creased from so percent to 50 percent as asked by Mr.Johnson, of St, tieorge N.B.but that the increase might alse be made on grey granite, This imcreas| duty, with the preference.would be + percent on the Scotch granite.which 1> replacing other granites and morble in the Maritime Provinees, and would en that the work of the contcrence would .give a fruitful result.The conference decided to first take uy Lhe question of (he surveillance ol contrabund and tnen regarding the form of Moroccan finances.This decision indicates the dispo-ition of the conference to put ofi the irore del- cate questions involved until the last In order to give the secretatiles an ap- portunity to prepare for .heir work the conference will not meet to-morrow sion.Sr Arthur Nicholson, the Braitisn!
